Male Monday Guy greetings


The Guy greetings stamp set has been out again. This time I have used the shoes! Love these, think they are really cute.




I have used the stampin'up! notecards in crumb cake. I have used the 'Flashback designer paper. The very vanilla card has been punched with the tag top punch which is one of my 'can't do without' punches. I have stamped the tag using soft suade ink, stamping some direct and some as stamped off images. I then stamped the shoes once in real red and cut them out. This sentiment just says it from the heart I am sure there are lots of people in everyones life that this would fit.








Inside the card I have added the 'Worlds Greatest' banner, also part of this stamp set. Contact me to get yours

Little Blue Bird





This is the second card with that stamp set. The little blue bird. I would like to say its a  kingfisher but I'm not so sure thats what it is.



So a closer look and yes I caught my pen on the right hand edge, thats what the blob is.                
I have scored a frame around the bird then cut the corners out and stuck carefully along the inside of the score line.
The blendability pens need a bit more practice to get the colour blend I would want here.
 But he is a cheeky looking birdie!

Blendies and Lemons


Here is my make with the free stamp set from the sale a brat ion brochure that I showed you last week.

I thought it was time I got working with the blendability pens. Although the palest colour is dark when you first colour with it, it does dry paler. The colours are great because as with everything else with Stampin'Up! they match the card, paper and ribbon.

The ribbon in in the spring/summer catalogue, its quite thick and textured. I have also coloured 3 pearls with blendability pens, just gives an extra matching dimension to the finished card.

I do really like the lemon stamp it looks and feels fresh, you can almost smell it!

Luscious Lace


 These goodies arrived this morning. The large stamp is "Something Lacey'. The Designer paper is 'Something Borrowed' with the lace trim and embellishments. Don't they look great. I can't wait to get started with them. I will have something pretty to show you tomorrow.

Tuesday- Sheltering trees.


 So here I have used this set without using the tree. Because the stamps are photopolymer you can see through them which makes repeat stamping very easy. The ribbon is from the FREE with a qualifying order sab products.



 I'm not usually a yellow fan but this has an air of spring about it unlike the weather outside!
